Glastonbury coverage update: a lot of message boards seem to be bellyaching about the standard of the presenting but we see no real difference from any other year, and this afternoon Lauren was on rare form like we haven't seen her on prime-time telly for years. Just a shame we ended up with five songs by Paolo Nutini, who seemed to be acting the giddy goat. Why couldn't he stand up straight and sing properly? Meanwhile, Klaxons urgently need a new sound tech, and we're not sure the note Lily Allen started Heart Of Glass with is physically possible using western scales.

The presenting does seem to be one extreme or the other though. For all that Laverne (and Jupitus) was aces, whoever decided on having the Queens of Noise (grammar) on the interactive options needs to be drowned in an effluent-addled puddle. How bad was Allen's Heart of Glass? I switched over as soon as the caption came up.

Also: is there some sort of contractual obligation for every feature to include Emily Eavis in some way?
